Philips HeartStart AEDs Recalled (December 2009)

Philips Healthcare is recalling certain HeartStart FR2+ automated external defibrillators. These AEDs are used by hospitals, fire departments and emergency medical services to treat sudden cardiac arrest. The recalled devices may have a memory chip failure that could make them inoperable and prevent therapy from being delivered.

The recall covers two models distributed by Philips, the M3860A and the M3861A, and two models distributed by Laerdal Medical, the M3840A and the M3841A. All were manufactured between May 2007 and January 2008. Philips is contacting customers to arrange for the return and replacement of the recalled AEDs.
